PART I

Item 1. Business.

General Development of Business. Halliburton Company (the Company) was
established in 1919 and incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware in
1924. The Company provides energy services and engineering and construction
services. Information related to acquisitions and dispositions is set forth in
Note 13 to the financial statements of this Annual Report.
Financial Information About Business Segments. The Company is comprised of
two business segments. See Note 9 to the financial statements of this Annual
Report for financial information about these two business segments.
Description of Services and Products. The following is a summary which
briefly describes the Company's services and products for each business segment.
Halliburton Energy Services (Energy Services) provides a wide range of
services and products to provide integrated solutions to customers in the
exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas. Energy Services
operates worldwide serving major oil companies, independent operators and
national oil companies. The services and products provided by Energy Services
include cementing, casing equipment and water control services; completion and
production products; directional drilling systems, measurement while drilling,
logging while drilling and mud logging services; open and cased hole logging and
perforating services and logging and perforating products; well testing,
reservoir description and evaluation services, tubing conveyed well completion
systems and reservoir engineering services; stimulation, sand control services
and coiled tubing services; and wellhead pressure control equipment, well
control, hydraulic workover and downhole video services.
Engineering and Construction Services (Brown & Root) includes services for
both land and marine activities. Included are technical and economic feasibility
studies, site evaluation, licensing, conceptual design, process design, detailed
engineering, procurement, project and construction management, construction and
start-up assistance of electric utility plants, chemical and petrochemical
plants, refineries, pulp and paper mills, metal processing plants, highways and
bridges, subsea construction, fabrication and installation of subsea pipelines,
offshore platforms, production platform facilities, marine engineering and other
marine related projects, contract maintenance and operations and maintenance
services for both industry and government, engineering and environmental
consulting and waste management services for industry, utilities and government,
and remedial engineering and construction services for hazardous waste sites.
Markets and Competition. The Company is one of the world's largest
diversified energy services and engineering and construction services companies.
The Company's services and products are sold in highly competitive markets
throughout the world. Competition in both services and products is based upon a
combination of price, service (including the ability to deliver services and
products on an "as needed where needed" basis), product quality, warranty and
technical proficiency. Some Energy Services' and Engineering and Construction
Services' customers have indicated a preference for integrated services and
solutions. These integrated solutions, in the case of Energy Services, relate to
all phases of exploration and production of oil and gas, and, in the case of
Engineering and Construction Services, relate to all phases of design,
procurement, construction, project management and maintenance of a facility.
Demand for these types of integrated solutions is based primarily upon quality
of service, technical proficiency and overall price.
The Company conducts business worldwide in over 100 countries. Since the
market for the Company's services and products is so large and crosses many
geographic lines, a meaningful estimate of the number of competitors cannot be
made. The markets are, however, highly competitive with many substantial
companies operating in each market. Generally, the Company's services and
products are marketed through its own servicing and sales organizations. A small
percentage of sales of Energy Services' products is made by supply stores and
third-party representatives.
Operations in some countries may be affected by unsettled political
conditions, expropriation or other governmental actions, and exchange control
and currency problems. The Company believes the geographic diversification of
its business activities reduces the risk that loss of its operations in any one
country would be material to the conduct of its operations taken as a whole.
Information regarding the Company's exposures to foreign currency fluctuations,
risk concentration and financial instruments used to minimize risk is included
in Note 11 to the financial statements of this Annual Report.

Customers and Backlog. Substantially all of the Company's Energy Services
and a significant portion of Engineering and Construction Services are related
to the energy industry. In 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively, 78%, 78% and 79%
of the Company's revenues were derived from the sale of products and services
to, including construction for, the energy industry. The following schedule
summarizes the backlog of engineering and construction projects at December 31,
1995 and 1994:


1995 1994
------ ------
(In millions)

Firm orders $3,961 $3,780
Government orders firm but not yet funded 634 828
Letters of intent and contracts
awarded but not signed 6 84
------ ------
Total $4,601 $4,692
====== ======

It is estimated that nearly 65% of the backlog existing at December 31,
1995 will be completed during 1996. The Company does not believe that
engineering and construction backlog should necessarily be relied on as an
indication of future operating results since such backlog figures are subject to
substantial fluctuations. Arrangements included in backlog are in many instances
extremely complex, nonrepetitive in nature and may fluctuate in contract value.
Many contracts do not provide for a fixed amount and are subject to modification
or termination by the customer. Due to the size of certain contracts, the
termination or modification of any one or more contracts or the addition of
other contracts may have a substantial and immediate effect on backlog. Orders
for Energy Services are generally placed by customers on the basis of current
need. Therefore, backlog of orders for these services and products are not
material.
Raw Materials. Raw materials essential to the Company's business are
normally readily available. Where the Company is dependent on a single supplier
for any materials essential to its business, the Company is confident that it
could make satisfactory alternative arrangements in the event of interruption in
the supply of such materials.
Research, Development and Patents. The Company maintains an active research
and development program to assist in the improvement of existing products and
processes, the development of new products and processes and the improvement of
engineering standards and practices that serve the changing needs of its
customers. Information relating to expenditures for research and development is
included in Note 1 to the financial statements of this Annual Report.
The Company owns a large number of patents and has pending a substantial
number of patent applications covering various products and processes. It is
also licensed under patents owned by others. The Company does not consider a
particular patent or group of patents to be material to the Company's business.
Seasonality. Weather and natural phenomena can temporarily affect the
performance of the Company's services. Winter months in the Northern Hemisphere
tend to affect operations negatively, but the widespread geographical locations
of the Company's services serve to mitigate the seasonal nature of the Company's
business.
Employees. At December 31, 1995 the Company employed approximately 57,300
people of which 23,300 were located outside the United States.
Regulation. The Company is subject to various environmental laws and
regulations. Compliance with such requirements has neither substantially
increased capital expenditures or adversely affected the Company's competitive
position, nor materially affected the Company's earnings. The Company does not
anticipate any such material adverse effects in the foreseeable future as a
result of such existing laws and regulations. Note 10 to the financial
statements of this Annual Report discusses the Company's involvement as a
potentially responsible party in remedial activities to clean up various
"Superfund" sites.

Item 2. Properties.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL
CONDITION

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND OUTLOOK Approximately 80% of the Company's
revenues are derived from services and products delivered to the energy
industry. The Company operates in over 100 countries around the world to provide
a variety of energy services and engineering and construction services.
Operations in some countries may be affected by unsettled political conditions,
expropriation or other governmental actions, and exchange control and currency
problems. The Company believes the geographic diversification of its business
activities reduces the risk that loss of its operations in any one country would
be material to the conduct of its operations as a whole.
The energy industry. The energy industry has experienced declining selling
prices per barrel of oil equivalent, adjusted for inflation, during the past ten
years. Per barrel costs of finding, developing and producing hydrocarbons have
also declined. This is the result of several factors. Energy companies have
restructured to reduce costs. Technological advances such as horizontal
drilling, geosteering, logging while drilling, multi-lateral completions, 3-D
seismic and coiled tubing applications are decreasing costs, improving well
productivity and optimizing the ultimate recovery of hydrocarbon reserves. In
addition, there is a trend toward incentive contracts between energy companies
and their suppliers, alliances, contracts to produce, outsourcing arrangements
and integrated solution approaches in order to reduce costs and share risks and
gains from efficiencies. Although in early stages of development, the Company
expects that the integrated solutions approach will be a major future growth
area. The current outlook based upon published sources is that demand for oil
and natural gas will increase with economic growth and that prices for oil and
natural gas will be stable near term and increase moderately longer term. One
major uncertainty is the potential negative impact on oil prices should Iraq
reenter the market. Significant market areas with increasing exploration and
development activities include international and the Gulf of Mexico.
Services to the energy industry. The operations of the Company devoted to
the energy industry are impacted by changes in oil and natural gas development
activities in major producing areas throughout the world. These activities are
sensitive to government actions in major producing countries, oil and natural
gas prices and capital spending for hydrocarbon exploration, development,
production, processing and pipeline delivery networks. In response to customer
efforts to reduce costs and increase production, the Company has reorganized its
operations to reduce its overall service and product delivery costs through
increased productivity and cost efficiencies. The Company has the capability to
provide a wide range of services needed to operate an existing oil and natural
gas field or a new field and to handle all phases of bringing energy to market,
including drilling and completing wells, building pipelines and other means of
transportation and building refineries. The Company provides project management,
development planning, well construction, production enhancement and production
maintenance services to the energy industry through its Energy Services and
Engineering and Construction Services segments. Based upon the outlook for the
energy industry, the Company expects revenue growth in 1996 with some
improvement in operating margins.
Other industries served. The remaining 20% of the Company's revenues are
derived from engineering, construction, maintenance, environmental services and
logistical support services to governmental and industrial customers worldwide.
According to published sources, these markets are expected to grow 15% to 20% in
1996. These markets are sensitive to changes in the economies of the world,
government actions in the major economies and capital spending by industries and
governments throughout the world.
The Company's outlook. The Company's outlook could be negatively impacted
by any of the factors noted above including significant changes in oil and gas
prices, world economic and political conditions, and new or modified embargoes
against oil and gas producing countries such as Iran, Iraq, Libya and Nigeria.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues in 1995 were $5,698.7 million, an increase of 3% over 1994
revenues of $5,510.2 million but a 6% decrease from 1993 revenues of $6,094.1
million. Excluding the revenues of businesses sold in 1994, revenues in 1995
increased by 5% over 1994 revenues and by 1% over 1993 revenues. Approximately
51% of the Company's consolidated revenues were derived from international
activities in 1995 compared to 45% in 1994 and 43% in 1993. Consolidated
international revenues increased 17% in 1995 over 1994 and 19% over 1993. Energy
Services 1995 revenues increased by 4% to $2,623.4 million in 1995 compared to
1994 but declined by 11% from 1993 revenues. Excluding the revenues of
businesses sold in 1994, Energy Services 1995 revenues increased by 7% over 1994
and 6% over 1993 primarily due to higher international activity levels,
partially offset by a decline in the United States. Energy Services revenues per
rotary rig, excluding the revenues of businesses sold in 1994, were up by 11% in
1995 over 1994 and up by 6% over 1993. The increases in revenues per rotary rig
were accomplished at the same time the rotary rig count declined by 3% in 1995
compared to 1994 and was the same as 1993. International revenues per rotary rig
increased 15% in 1995 over 1994 and 10% over 1993. United States revenues per
rotary rig increased 5% in 1995 over 1994 but was down about 1% from 1993.
Engineering and Construction Services 1995 revenues increased by 3% to $3,075.3
million in 1995 compared to 1994, but decreased by 2% compared to 1993.

7

Operating income was $383.2 million in 1995 compared to $236.1 million in
1994 and an operating loss of $91.5 million in 1993. Excluding the special items
and businesses sold in 1994 as described below, 1995 operating income increased
by 54% over 1994 operating income of $248.4 million and by 68% over 1993
operating income of $227.7 million. Approximately 63% of the Company's
consolidated operating income was derived from international activities in 1995
compared to 46% in 1994 and 60% in 1993. Consolidated international operating
margins were 8% in 1995 compared to 5% in 1994 and 6% in 1993. Energy Services
operating income in 1995 was $313.7 million, compared to $191.8 million in 1994
and a loss of $148.4 million in 1993. Excluding the special items and businesses
sold in 1994 as described below, operating income in 1995 increased 54% over
1994 and 84% over 1993. Operating income increased in all geographic regions
worldwide. Operating margins during 1995, 1994 and 1993 were 12%, 8% and 7%,
respectively. The increase in 1995 margins was due to lower indirect costs and
international revenue growth. Lower margins in 1994 were due primarily to
decreased activities in the North Sea, Middle East and Asia Pacific, market
disturbances in Nigeria and Yemen, unsettled economic, political and business
conditions in the CIS and pricing pressures in the United States. Engineering
and Construction Services operating income in 1995 increased 53% over 1994 and
31% over 1993 to $103.0 million. The increase in 1995 operating income is
primarily due to improved performance in international marine construction
activities and petrochemical engineering and construction activities in the
Middle East. Operating income in 1994 includes a $5.0 million gain on the sale
of an environmental remediation subsidiary.

Businesses sold in 1994 were the geophysical products and services
business, natural gas compression business and the workover platform business.
Special items recognized in 1994 and 1993 are as follows: In 1994, the
Company sold its natural gas compression business and recognized a $102.0
million gain in other nonoperating income ($64.3 million net of income taxes).
In addition, the Company recognized a $42.6 million charge against Energy
Services operating income ($27.7 million net of income taxes) to recognize
severance costs for the termination of about 2,700 employees. The terminations
mostly impacted middle and senior management levels and various product line
support and general and administrative employees. In 1993, the Company
recognized a $301.8 million charge against Energy Services operating income
($263.8 million net of income taxes) to reflect the net realizable value of the
Company's geophysical operations which were disposed of in January 1994. The
Company also provided a $20.0 million charge in 1993 ($13.0 million net of
income taxes) related to Energy Services non-geophysical employee severance
costs. The provision for income taxes in 1993 was reduced by $40.4 million due
to a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service relating to tax assessments
for the 1980 - 1987 years and also reduced by $6.4 million due to changes in
Federal income tax laws. See Note 5 to the financial statements.
Interest income increased in 1995 to $27.8 million from $16.1 million in
1994 and $14.0 million in 1993 due primarily to higher levels of invested cash.
Foreign currency gains (losses) netted to a gain of $1.5 million in 1995
compared to losses of $16.0 million in 1994 and $20.8 million in 1993. Included
in the 1995 results were gains from devaluations of the Nigerian Naira and the
Venezuelan Bolivar offset by losses in other currencies, particularly the
Mexican Peso. Losses in 1994 and 1993 related primarily to Brazil and Venezuela.
Losses in 1993 also included losses from certain African currency exposures. The
Company routinely hedges its exposures to currency fluctuations using simple
currency derivative instruments. See Note 11 to the financial statements for a
description of such exposures and derivative instruments.
Provision for income taxes was higher in 1995 than in 1994 and 1993 due to
increased income. The effective income tax rates, excluding the businesses sold
in 1994 and the special items outlined above, declined to 36% in 1995 from 42%
in 1994 and 47% in 1993. The declines in the effective income tax rate were due
primarily to the decrease in losses not currently benefited and increased
realization of available net operating losses.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS consists of the Company's Insurance Services Group.
The Company declared a dividend on December 26, 1995 and subsequently
distributed its property and casualty insurance subsidiary, Highlands Insurance
Group, Inc. (HIGI), to its shareholders in a tax-free spin-off on January 23,
1996. The operations of the Insurance Services Group have been classified as
discontinued operations. During 1995, HIGI increased its reserves for claim
losses and related expenses and provisions for certain legal matters which
together with certain other provisions associated with the Company's complete
exit from the insurance industry resulted in a $67.2 million charge against net
earnings. See Note 14 to the financial statements for further information.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company ended the year 1995 with cash and equivalents of $174.9 million
compared with $375.3 million in 1994 and $7.5 million in 1993. The decrease in
cash and equivalents is primarily due to the prepayment of debt of $432.7
million, partially offset by increased cash flows from operating activities. The
Company's cash return on gross invested capital, consistent with the Company's
Cash Value Added performance measurement, adopted in 1994, was 13% in 1995
compared to 9% in 1994 and 5% in 1993. This is due to improved operating cash
flows, dispositions of businesses and unproductive assets, the prepayment of
debt and the spin-off of HIGI.
CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES were $632.0 million in 1995 compared
to $415.4 million in 1994 and $269.6 million in 1993. The increases are
attributable primarily to increased income and, in 1995, reductions in working
capital.
CASH FLOWS FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES used $238.3 million in 1995 compared
to $210.9 million in cash provided in 1994 and $323.4 million of cash used in
1993. Capital expenditures increased in 1995 by 24% over 1994 and 18% over 1993
mostly representing investments in new technologies such as logging while
drilling and multi-lateral completions. The Company's capital expenditures are
expected to continue to increase in 1996 as new technologies will continue to be
developed and deployed. In 1994, the Company sold substantially all of the
assets of its geophysical services and products business for $190.0 million and
its natural gas compression business for $205.0 million.
CASH FLOWS USED FOR FINANCING ACTIVITIES were $591.3 million in 1995
compared to $252.7 million in 1994 and $81.0 million in 1993. The increase in
outflows is due to higher payments of long-term indebtedness. In 1995, the
entire outstanding principal amounts of the zero coupon convertible subordinated
debentures of $390.7 million and the $42.0 million term loan were redeemed with
available cash resources. See Note 6 to the financial statements. In 1994, the
Company redeemed the remaining $23.8 million of its 10.2% debentures and made
$48.8 million in installments on the $73.8 million note issued by the Company to
the buyer of the geophysical business. In 1993, the Company redeemed $56.5
million principal amount of its debentures. Total debt was 11%, 26% and 27% of
total capitalization at the end of 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The
Company has the ability to borrow additional short-term and long-term funds if
necessary. See Note 6 to the financial statements regarding the Company's
various short-term lines of credit. In 1993, in connection with the acquisition
of the drilling systems business, the Company issued 6,857,000 shares of Common
Stock previously held as treasury stock valued at approximately $247 million.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The Company is involved as a potentially responsible party in remedial
activities to clean up various "Superfund" sites under applicable Federal law
which imposes joint and several liability, if the harm is indivisible, on
certain persons without regard to fault, the legality of the original disposal,
or ownership of the site. Although it is very difficult to quantify the
potential impact of compliance with environmental protection laws, management of
the Company believes that any liability of the Company with respect to all but
one of such sites will not have a material adverse effect on the results of
operations of the Company. See Note 10 to the financial statements for
additional information on the one site.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING

Halliburton Company is responsible for the preparation and integrity of its
published financial statements. The financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
and, as such, include amounts based on judgments and estimates made by
management. The Company also prepared the other information included in the
annual report and is responsible for its accuracy and consistency with the
financial statements.
The financial statements have been audited by the independent accounting
firm, Arthur Andersen LLP, which was given unrestricted access to all financial
records and related data, including minutes of all meetings of stockholders, the
board of directors and committees of the board.
The Company maintains a system of internal control over financial
reporting, which is intended to provide reasonable assurance to the Company's
management and board of directors regarding the preparation of financial
statements. The system includes a documented organizational structure and
division of responsibility, established policies and procedures including codes
of conduct to foster a strong ethical climate, which are communicated throughout
the Company, and the careful selection, training and development of our people.
Internal auditors monitor the operation of the internal control system and
report findings and recommendations to management and the board of directors,
and corrective actions are taken to address control deficiencies and other
opportunities for improving the system as they are identified. The board,
operating through its audit committee, which is composed entirely of directors
who are not officers or employees of the Company, provides oversight to the
financial reporting process.
There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of
internal control, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention
or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even an effective internal control
system can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement
preparation. Furthermore, the effectiveness of an internal control system may
change over time.
The Company assessed its internal control system in relation to criteria
for effective internal control over financial reporting described in "Internal
Control-Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based upon that assessment, the
Company believes that, as of December 31, 1995, its system of internal control
over financial reporting met those criteria.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Shareholders and Board of
Directors,
Halliburton Company:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Halliburton
Company (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiary companies as of December 31,
1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows and
shareholders' equity for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of Halliburton
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Halliburton
Company and subsidiary companies as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies
The Company employs accounting policies that are in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires Company management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Ultimate results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and all majority-owned subsidiaries. All material
intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. Investments in other
affiliated companies in which the Company has at least 20% ownership and does
not have management control are accounted for on the equity method. In
connection with the discontinuance of the Company's insurance segment, the
Company has adopted a classified balance sheet format. Certain prior year
amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.
Revenues and Income Recognition. The Company recognizes revenues as
services are rendered or products are shipped. The distinction between services
and product sales is based upon the overall business intent of the particular
business operation. Revenues from construction contracts are reported on the
percentage of completion method of accounting using measurements of progress
toward completion appropriate for the work performed. All known or anticipated
losses on any contracts are provided for currently. Claims for additional
compensation are recognized during the period such claims are resolved.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses are charged to
income as incurred. Such charges were $88.5 million in 1995, $109.5 million in
1994 and $126.5 million in 1993. In addition, the Company capitalized software
development costs related primarily to integrated information technologies and
project management of $3.9 million in 1995, $6.4 million in 1994 and $39.8
million in 1993.
Income Per Share. Income per share is based on the weighted average number
of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during each year.
Common share equivalents included in the computation represent shares issuable
upon assumed exercise of stock options which have a dilutive effect.
Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with
an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Receivables. The Company's receivables are generally not collateralized.
Notes and accounts receivable at December 31, 1995 include $22.3 million ($30.1
million at December 31, 1994) due from customers in accordance with applicable
retainage provisions of engineering and construction contracts, which will
become billable upon future deliveries or completion of such contracts. Of the
December 31, 1995 amount, approximately $17.8 million is expected to be
collected during 1996 and the remainder is due in subsequent years. Unbilled
work on uncompleted contracts generally represents work currently billable and
such work is usually billed during normal billing processes in the next month.
Inventories. Inventories are stated at cost which is not in excess of
market. Cost represents invoice or production cost for new items and original
cost less allowance for condition for used material returned to stock.
Production cost includes material, labor and manufacturing overhead. About
one-third of all sales items (including related work in process and raw
materials) are valued on a last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis. Inventories of sales
items owned by foreign subsidiaries and inventories of operating supplies and
parts are generally valued at average cost.
Depreciation, Amortization and Maintenance. Depreciation and amortization
for financial reporting purposes is provided primarily on the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets not exceeding 40 years.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed; expenditures for renewals
and improvements are generally capitalized. Upon sale or retirement of an asset,
the related cost and accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from
the accounts and any gain or loss is recognized. In the event that facts and
circumstances indicate that assets may be impaired, an evaluation of
recoverability would be performed. If an evaluation is required, the estimated
future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset would be compared to
the asset's carrying amount to determine if a write-down to market value or
discounted cash flow value is required.
Income Taxes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if
it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is
able to realize their benefit, or that future deductibility is prohibited or
uncertain. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected
future tax consequences of events that have been realized in the financial
statements or tax returns.
Derivative Instruments. The Company enters into derivative financial
transactions to hedge existing or projected exposures to changing foreign
exchange rates, interest rates, security prices, or commodity prices. The
Company does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes.
Hedges of derivative financial transactions are generally carried at fair value
with the resulting gains and losses reflected in the results of operations.

16

Foreign Currency Translation. Foreign entities whose functional currency is
the U.S. dollar translate monetary assets and liabilities at year-end exchange
rates and non-monetary items are translated at historical rates. Income and
expense accounts are translated at the average rates in effect during the year,
except for depreciation and cost of product sales which are translated at
historical rates. Gains or losses from changes in exchange rates are recognized
in consolidated income in the year of occurrence. Foreign entities whose
functional currency is the local currency translate net assets at year-end rates
and income and expense accounts at average exchange rates. Adjustments resulting
from these translations are reflected in the Shareholders' Equity section titled
"Cumulative translation adjustment".

Note 2. Inventories
About one-third of all sales items (including related work in process and
raw materials) are valued using the LIFO method. If the average cost method had
been in use for inventories on the LIFO basis, total inventories would have been
about $18.3 million and $21.9 million higher than reported at December 31, 1995
and 1994, respectively.

Note 4. Related Companies
The Company conducts some of its operations through various joint venture
and other partnership forms which are principally accounted for using the equity
method. Included in the Company's revenues for 1995, 1994 and 1993 are equity in
income of related companies of $88.4 million, $93.0 million and $76.3 million,
respectively. When the Company sells or transfers assets to an affiliated
company that is accounted for using the equity method and the affiliated company
records the assets at fair value, the excess of the fair value of the assets
over the Company's net book value is deferred and amortized over the expected
lives of the assets. Deferred gains included in the Company's other liabilities
were $10.1 million and $19.4 million at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. Summarized financial statements for European Marine Contractors,
Limited, a 50% owned company which specializes in engineering, procurement and
construction of marine pipelines, and for the remaining combined jointly owned
operations which are not consolidated are as follows:

The Company has received statutory notices of deficiency for the 1989, 1990
and 1991 tax years from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of $51.8 million,
$92.9 million and $16.8 million, respectively, excluding any penalties or
interest. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses and does not expect
that any liability resulting from the 1989, 1990 or 1991 tax years will result
in a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial position.
In 1993, the Company reached a settlement with the IRS for the 1980-1987 taxable
years. As a result of the settlement, as well as significant prepayments of

19

taxes in prior years, the Company received a refund and net income was increased
by $40.4 million in 1993.

The Company has short-term lines of credit totaling $125.0 million with
several U.S. banks. No borrowings were outstanding at December 31, 1995 under
these credit facilities. At December 31, 1995, $4.8 million of other short-term
debt was outstanding. The Company's 8.75% debentures due February 15, 2021 do
not have sinking fund requirements and are not redeemable prior to maturity. In
September 1995, the Company redeemed all of the zero coupon convertible
subordinated debentures due March 13, 2006 for $390.7 million in cash, which
represents the original issue price plus accrued original issue discount to the
redemption date. In addition, in December 1995, the Company redeemed all of the
$42.0 million term loan. The remaining $23.8 million of the 10.2% sinking fund
debentures were redeemed in 1994. Long-term debt of $5.2 million matures during
1996 and there are no maturities due for the succeeding four years.

Note 7. Common Stock
The Company's 1993 Stock and Long-Term Incentive Plan (1993 Plan) provides
for the grant of any or all of the following types of awards: (1) stock options,
including incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options; (2) stock
appreciation rights, in tandem with stock options or freestanding; (3)
restricted stock; (4) performance share awards; and (5) stock value equivalent
awards. Under the terms of the 1993 Plan, 5.5 million shares of the Company's
Common Stock were reserved for issuance to key employees. At December 31, 1995,
2.0 million shares were available for future grants. Stock option transactions
are summarized as follows:



Exercise Weighted Average

All stock options are granted at fair market value of the Common Stock at
the grant date. The weighted average fair value of the stock options granted
during 1995 was $13.20. The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated
on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the
following weighted average assumptions used for grants in 1995: risk-free
interest rate of 6.22%; expected dividend yield of 2.38%; expected life of five
years; and expected volatility of 32.11%. Stock options generally expire ten
years from the grant date or three years after date of retirement, if earlier.
Stock options vest over a three year period, with one-third of the shares
becoming exercisable on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date.
The outstanding stock options at December 31, 1995 have a weighted average
contractual life of 8.92 years. The number of stock option shares exercisable at
December 31, 1995 was 745,744. These stock options have a weighted average
exercise price of $34.31 per share.
The Company accounts for the 1993 Plan in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, under which no compensation cost has been

20

recognized for stock option awards. Had compensation cost for the 1993 Plan been
determined consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock - Based Compensation" (SFAS 123), the Company's pro forma
net income and earnings per share for 1995 would have been $164.5 million and
$1.44, respectively. Because the SFAS 123 method of accounting has not been
applied to options granted prior to January 1, 1995, the resulting pro forma
compensation cost may not be representative of that to be expected in future
years.
Restricted shares awarded under the 1993 Plan for 1995, 1994 and 1993 were
206,350, 80,600 and 107,000, respectively. The shares awarded are net of
forfeitures of 4,900 and 5,000 shares in 1995 and 1994, respectively. The
weighted average fair market value per share at the date of grant of shares
granted in 1995 was $40.88. The Company's Restricted Stock Plan for Non-Employee
Directors (Restricted Stock Plan) allows for each non-employee director to
receive an annual award of 200 restricted shares of Common Stock as a part of
compensation. The Company reserved 50,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance to
non-employee directors. The Company issued 1,600 restricted shares in 1995 and
1,800 restricted shares in both 1994 and 1993 under this plan. The weighted
average fair market value per share at the date of grant of shares granted in
1995 was $40.75.
The Company's Employees' Restricted Stock Plan was established for
employees who are not officers, for which 100,000 shares of Common Stock have
been reserved. The Company awarded 1,750 and 96,750 restricted shares in 1995
and 1994, respectively, and 900 restricted shares were forfeited in 1995. The
weighted average fair market value per share at the date of grant of shares
granted in 1995 was $35.00.
Under the terms of the Company's career executive incentive stock plan, 7.5
million shares of the Company's Common Stock were reserved for issuance to
officers and key employees at a purchase price not to exceed par value of $2.50
per share. At December 31, 1995, 5.9 million shares (net of 1.0 million shares
forfeited) have been issued under the plan. No further grants will be made
under the career executive incentive stock plan.
Restricted shares issued under the 1993 Plan, Restricted Stock Plan,
Employees' Restricted Stock Plan and the career executive incentive stock plan
are limited as to sale or disposition with such restrictions lapsing
periodically over an extended period of time. The fair market value of the
stock, on the date of issuance, is being amortized and charged to income (with
similar credits to paid-in capital in excess of par value) generally over the
average period during which the restrictions lapse. Compensation costs
recognized in income for 1995 was $7.0 million. At December 31, 1995, the
unamortized amount is $23.9 million.

Note 8. Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock
In 1986, the Company declared a dividend of one preferred stock purchase
right (a Right) on each outstanding share of common stock, terms of which were
subsequently modified as of February 15, 1990 and December 15, 1995 (the Amended
Rights Agreement). Pursuant to the Amended Rights Agreement, each Right will
entitle the holder thereof to buy one one-hundredth of a share of the Company's
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, without par value, at an exercise
price of $150, subject to certain antidilution adjustments. The Rights do not
have any voting rights and are not entitled to dividends.
The Rights become exercisable in certain limited circumstances involving a
potential business combination. Following certain other events after the Rights
become exercisable, each Right will entitle its holder to an amount of common
stock of the Company, or, in certain circumstances, securities of the acquiror,
having a then-current market value of two times the exercise price of the Right.
The Rights are redeemable at the Company's option at any time before they become
exercisable. The Rights expire on December 15, 2005. No event during 1995 made
the Rights exercisable.

Note 9. Business Segment Information
The Company operates in two segments - Energy Services and Engineering and
Construction Services. Energy Services' products and services include drilling
systems and services, pressure pumping equipment and services, logging and
perforating, specialized completion and production equipment and services, and
well control. Engineering and Construction Services provides engineering,
construction, project management, facilities operation and maintenance, and
environmental services for industrial and governmental customers.
The Company's equity in income or losses of related companies is included
in revenues and operating income of each applicable segment. Intersegment
revenues included in the revenues of the other business segments are immaterial.
Sales between geographic areas and export sales are also immaterial. General and
administrative expenses were $157.8 million, $182.0 million and $195.9 million
for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Depreciation
and amortization expenses were increased in 1993 by the loss for the sale of the
geophysical business in 1994 discussed in Note 13 by $128.9 million. General
corporate assets are primarily comprised of cash and equivalents and certain
other investments.

Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies
Leases. At December 31, 1995, the Company was obligated under noncancelable
operating leases, expiring on various dates to 2108, principally for the use of
land, offices, equipment and field facilities. Aggregate rentals charged to
operations for such leases totaled $70.4 million in 1995, $105.3 million in
1994, and $130.8 million in 1993. Future aggregate rentals on noncancelable
operating leases are as follows: 1996, $50.3 million; 1997, $41.8 million; 1998,
$31.7 million; 1999, $23.0 million; 2000, $14.0 million; and thereafter, $94.2
million.

Environmental. The Company is involved as a potentially responsible party
(PRP) in remedial activities to clean up various "Superfund" sites under
applicable Federal law which imposes joint and several liability, if the harm is
indivisible, on certain persons without regard to fault, the legality of the
original disposal, or ownership of the site. Although it is very difficult to
quantify the potential impact of compliance with environmental protection laws,
management of the Company believes that any liability of the Company with
respect to all but one of such sites will not have a material adverse effect on
the results of operations of the Company. With respect to a site in Jasper
County, Missouri (Jasper County Superfund Site), sufficient information has not
been developed to permit management to make such a determination and management
believes the process of determining the nature and extent of remediation at this
site and the total costs thereof will be lengthy. Brown & Root, Inc. (Brown &
Root), a subsidiary of the Company, has been named as a PRP with respect to the
Jasper County Superfund Site by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The
Jasper County Superfund Site includes areas of mining activity that occurred
from the 1800's through the mid 1950's in the southwestern portion of Missouri.
The site contains lead and zinc mine tailings produced from mining activity.
Brown & Root is one of nine participating PRPs which have agreed to perform a
Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS), which is not expected to be
completed until the third quarter of 1996. Although the entire Jasper County
Superfund Site comprises 237 square miles as listed on the National Priorities
List, in the RI/FS scope of work, the EPA has only identified seven areas, or
subsites, within this area that need to be studied and then possibly remediated
by the PRPs. Additionally, the Administrative Order on Consent for the RI/FS
only requires Brown & Root to perform RI/FS work at one of the subsites within
the site, the Neck/Alba subsite, which only comprises 3.95 square miles. Brown &
Root's share of the cost of such a study is not expected to be material. At the
present time Brown & Root cannot determine the extent of its liability, if any,
for remediation costs on any reasonably practicable basis.
Other. The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to various other legal
proceedings. Although the ultimate dispositions of such proceedings are not
presently determinable, in the opinion of the Company any liability that may
ensue will not be material in relation to the consolidated financial position
and results of operations of the Company.

Note 11. Financial Instruments and Risk Concentration
Foreign Exchange Risk. The Company operates in over 100 countries around
the world and has exposures to currency fluctuations in approximately 80 foreign
currencies. These exposures subject the Company to the risk that the eventual
dollar net cash flows from sales to customers and purchases from suppliers could
be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. Some currencies have
established markets that facilitate the active exchange of one currency for
another (traded currencies), but most currencies are not widely traded and are
actively controlled by their respective governments (non-traded currencies). It
is the Company's policy to hedge significant exposures to potential foreign
exchange losses considering current market conditions, future operating
activities and the cost of hedging the exposure in relation to the perceived
risk of loss. Techniques in managing foreign exchange risk include, but are not
limited to, foreign currency borrowing, investing, and the use of currency
derivative instruments. Foreign currency transactions for speculative purposes
are not permitted.
Market Risk. As part of the Company's efforts to minimize market risk
associated with foreign currency exchange rate volatility, the Company hedges
its exposure in traded currencies through the use of currency derivative
instruments, specifically, forward exchange contracts and foreign exchange
option contracts. Such contracts generally have an expiration date of one year
or less. Forward exchange contracts (commitments to buy or sell a specified
amount of a foreign currency at a specified price and time) are generally used
to hedge identifiable foreign currency commitments. Gains or losses on such
contracts are deferred and recognized when the offsetting gains and losses are
recognized on the related hedged items. Foreign exchange option contracts (which
convey the right, but not the obligation, to sell or buy a specified amount of
foreign currency at a specified price) are generally used to hedge foreign
currency commitments with an indeterminable maturity date. The use of some
contracts may limit the Company's ability to benefit from favorable fluctuations
in foreign exchange rates. Forward and option contracts associated with foreign
currency commitments having indeterminable maturity dates are marked to market
monthly with the resulting gains or losses included in current period income.
While hedging instruments are subject to fluctuations in value, such
fluctuations are generally offset by the value of the underlying exposures being
hedged. The forward or option contracts utilized are all purchased from a
selected group of highly rated banks. None of the forward or option contracts
are exchange traded. At December 31, 1995, the Company held foreign currency
forward contracts with net notional amounts totaling $12.4 million, in which the
Company was the buyer of $3.4 million and the seller of $15.8 million of foreign
currencies, and foreign currency option contracts with net notional amounts
totaling $54.1 million in which the Company was the buyer of $18.1 million and
the seller of $72.2 million of foreign currencies. At December 31, 1994, the
Company held foreign currency forward contracts with net notional amounts
totaling $11.8 million, in which the Company was the buyer of $5.1 million and
the seller of $16.9 million of foreign currencies, and foreign currency option
contracts with net notional amounts totaling $12.2 million, in which the Company
was the buyer of $26.0 million and the seller of $38.2 million of foreign
currencies. The Company actively monitors its foreign currency exposure (net

23

position) and adjusts the amounts hedged as appropriate. The table below
summarizes the Company's net assets (liabilities) exposed to currency
fluctuations at December 31, 1995, in traded (other than U.S. dollar) and
non-traded foreign currencies as well as the net notional amounts of the related
hedging contracts held.


Net Contract/ Net Assets
Net Assets Notional (Liabilities)

Norwegian krone 3.3 8.8 (5.5)
Italian lira 8.8 7.2 1.6
Other currencies 14.5 13.4 1.1
Non-traded currencies (32.7) - (32.7)
------------- ------------- -----------
Totals $ 12.5 $ 66.5 $ (54.0)
============= ============= ===========

Exposures to non-traded currencies are generally not hedged due primarily
to lack of available markets or cost considerations. The Company attempts to
manage its working capital position to minimize foreign currency commitments in
non-traded currencies and recognizes that pricing for the services and products
offered in such countries should cover the cost of exchange rate devaluations.
The Company has historically incurred transaction losses in non-traded
currencies. The risk of loss is primarily due to the magnitude of currency
devaluations experienced in those currencies rather than the size of the foreign
currency exposures. Net assets subject to currency exposure resulting from the
use of functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar in which exchange
movements affect shareholders' equity were $143.0 million in 1995.
Credit Risk. Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash equivalents, investments and
trade receivables. It is the Company's practice to place its cash equivalents
and investments in high quality securities with various investment institutions.
The Company derives the majority of its revenues from sales and services to,
including engineering and construction for, the energy industry. Within the
energy industry, trade receivables are generated from a broad and diverse group
of customers. There are concentrations of receivables in the United States and
the United Kingdom. The Company maintains an allowance for losses based upon the
expected collectibility of all trade accounts receivable. The notional amounts
of the Company's foreign exchange contracts do not generally represent amounts
exchanged by the parties, and thus, are not a measure of the exposure of the
Company or of the cash requirements relating to these contracts. The credit
exposure of the Company on foreign exchange contracts is represented by the
carrying amount of such contracts. Counterparties are selected by the Company
based on creditworthiness, which the Company continually monitors, and on the
counterparties' ability to perform their obligations under the terms of the
transactions. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk with any
individual counterparty or groups of counterparties related to the Company's
derivative contracts. The Company does not expect any counterparties to fail to
meet their obligations under these contracts given their high credit ratings
and, as such, considers the credit risk associated with its derivative contracts
to be minimal.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The estimated fair value of long-term
debt at December 31, 1995 and 1994 was $247.9 million and $626.1 million,
respectively, as compared to the carrying amount of $200.0 million and $643.1
million at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The fair value of long-term
debt is based on quoted market prices for those or similar instruments. The
carrying amount of short-term financial instruments (cash and equivalents,
receivables, and certain other liabilities) as reflected in the consolidated
balance sheets approximates fair value due to the short maturities of these
instruments. The fair value of currency derivative instruments, which generally
approximates the carrying amount, was less than $2.5 million at December 31,
1995 and 1994.

Note 12. Retirement Plans
Retirement Plans. The Company has various retirement plans which cover a
significant number of its employees. The major pension plans are defined
contribution plans, which provide pension benefits in return for services
rendered, provide an individual account for each participant, and have terms
that specify how contributions to the participant's account are to be determined
rather than the amount of pension benefits the participant is to receive.
Contributions to these plans are based on pre-tax income and/or discretionary
amounts determined on an annual basis. The Company's expense for the defined
contribution plans totaled $94.2 million, $98.0 million and $54.6 million in
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Other pension plans include defined benefit
plans, which define an amount of pension benefit to be provided, usually as a
function of one or more factors such as age, years of service, or compensation.
As a result of the sizable reduction in the number of employees, curtailment
gains of $1.3 million and $8.9 million are reflected in the net amortization and
deferral component of net periodic pension cost for 1995 and 1994, respectively.

24


These plans are funded to operate on an actuarially sound basis. Assumed
long-term rates of return on plan assets, discount rates in estimating benefit
obligations and rates of compensation increases vary for the different plans
according to the local economic conditions. Plan assets are primarily invested
in equity and fixed income securities of entities domiciled in the country of
the plan's operation. The rates used are as follows:



Percentages 1995 1994 1993
----------- ---------- ----------

Return on plan assets:
United States plans 8.5% 8.5% 8.5%
International plans 6.5% to 9% 7% to 9% 9%
Discount rate:

United States plans 7% to 7.25% 8.5% 7.5%
International plans 4% to 8.5% 4% to 8.5% 4% to 8.5%
Compensation increase:
United States plans 4% 5% 4.25%
International plans 1% to 6% 1% to 6% 1% to 6%



The net periodic pension cost for defined benefit plans is as follows:

Postretirement Medical Plan. The Company offers a postretirement medical
plan to certain employees that qualify for retirement and, on the last day of
active employment, are enrolled as participants in the Company's active employee
medical plan. The Company's liability is limited to a fixed contribution amount
for each participant or dependent. Effective in September 1993, coverage under
this plan ceases when the participant reaches age 65. However, those
participants aged 65 or over on January 1, 1994, have the option to participate
in an expanded prescription drug program in lieu of the medical coverage. The
plan participants share the total cost for all benefits provided above the fixed
Company contribution and participants' contributions are adjusted as required to
cover benefit payments. The Company has made no commitment to adjust the amount
of its contributions; therefore, the computed accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation amount is not affected by the expected future healthcare cost
inflation rate. The weighted average discount rate used in determining the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was 7% in 1995, 8% in 1994 and 7%
in 1993.

Net periodic postretirement benefit cost included the following components:

Note 13. Acquisitions and Dispositions
See Note 14 as to the disposition of the Company's insurance segment.
The Company sold its natural gas compression business unit in November 1994
for $205.0 million in cash. The sale resulted in a pretax gain of $102.0

26

million, or 56 cents per share after tax. The business unit sold owns and
operates a large natural gas compressor rental fleet in the United States and
Canada. The compressors are used to assist in the production, transportation and
storage of natural gas.
In January 1994, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of its
geophysical services and products business to Western Atlas International Inc.
for $190.0 million in cash and notes subject to certain adjustments. The notes
of $90.0 million were sold for cash in the first quarter of 1994. In addition,
the Company issued $73.8 million in notes to Western Atlas to cover some of the
costs of reducing certain geophysical operations, including the cost of
personnel reductions, leases of geophysical marine vessels and the closing of
duplicate facilities. The Company's notes to Western Atlas are payable over two
years at a rate of interest of 4%. An initial installment of $33.8 million was
made in February 1994, and quarterly installments of $5.0 million have been made
thereafter. The Company recognized a $301.8 million charge ($263.8 million after
tax) in 1993 related to the sale of its geophysical business. This charge
includes $120.7 million for the write-down to the net realizable value of
equipment and other assets; $54.0 million for anticipated operating and contract
losses through the dates of disposition or completion; $43.4 million for marine
vessel leases and mobilization; $35.1 million for facility leases and closures;
$34.4 million for personnel and severance; and $14.2 million for transition
costs and other related matters. Services and products provided through the
geophysical business include seismic data collection and data processing
services for both land and marine seismic exploration activities and
manufacturing and sales of seismic equipment. The revenues, operating loss and
net loss of the geophysical operations, excluding the charge in 1993, were
$404.4 million, $20.1 million, and $20.3 million, respectively.
In March 1993, the Company acquired the assets of Smith International,
Inc.'s Directional Drilling Systems and Services business for 6,857,000 shares
of Halliburton Company Common Stock previously held as treasury stock, valued at
approximately $247 million. The Company recorded $135.8 million as excess of
cost over net assets acquired. The excess of cost over net assets acquired will
be amortized over 40 years.

Note 14. Discontinued Operations
On January 23, 1996, the Company spun-off its property and casualty
insurance subsidiary, Highlands Insurance Group, Inc. (HIGI), in a tax-free
distribution to holders of Halliburton Company common stock. Each common
shareholder of the Company received one share of common stock of HIGI for every
ten shares of Halliburton Company common stock. Approximately 11.4 million
common shares of HIGI were issued in conjunction with the spin-off.
After the spin-off transaction, HIGI issued $62.9 million of convertible
subordinated debentures due December 31, 2005 with detachable Series A and B
Common Stock Purchase Warrants to Insurance Partners, L.P. and Insurance
Partners Offshore (Bermuda), L.P. (IP) and to certain members of HIGI
management.
The convertible subordinated debentures issued are convertible into common
stock of HIGI after one year from issuance at the option of the holders. HIGI
can redeem the debentures at any time after December 31, 2002. The holders would
receive approximately 3.9 million shares of HIGI, or approximately 25% ownership
interest in HIGI, if all of the debentures are converted into common stock of
HIGI at a conversion price of $16.16 per share. Interest on the debentures is
payable semiannually in cash at 10% per annum.
The detachable Series A Common Stock Purchase Warrants (Series A Warrants)
enable the holders to purchase HIGI common stock at an exercise price of $14.69
per share, equal to an additional ownership interest of approximately 21% after
giving effect to the assumed conversion of the debentures and the exercise of
the Series A Warrants. If all of the Series A Warrants were exercised, IP would
receive approximately 4.0 million shares of HIGI. The exercise price and the
number of shares of HIGI common stock into which the Series A Warrants are
exercisable will be subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. These
warrants expire on December 31, 2005.
The detachable Series B Common Stock Purchase Warrants (Series B Warrants)
enable the holders to purchase shares of HIGI common stock at an exercise price
of $14.69, equal to an additional ownership interest of 5% after giving effect
to the assumed conversion of the debentures and the exercise of the Series A and
B Warrants. The Series B Warrants become exercisable by the holders in the event
that the average closing market price of HIGI common stock exceeds 1.61 times
the exercise price for any 30 consecutive trading days prior to December 31,
2000 but after December 31, 1998. If all of the Series B Warrants were
exercised, the holders would receive approximately 1.0 million additional shares
of HIGI. The exercise price and the number of shares of HIGI common stock into
which the Series A Warrants are exercisable will be subject to adjustment in
certain circumstances. The detachable Series B Warrants expire on December 31,
2005.
If the debentures are converted into common stock of HIGI and the Series A
and B Warrants are utilized by the holders to purchase common stock of HIGI, the
holders will own approximately 44% of HIGI.

In the third quarter of 1995, HIGI conducted an extensive review of its loss
and loss adjustment expense reserves to assess HIGI's reserve position. The
review process consisted of gathering new information and refining prior
estimates and primarily focused on assumed reinsurance and overall environmental
and asbestos exposure. As a result of such review, HIGI increased its reserves
for loss and loss adjustment expenses and certain legal matters and the Company
also recognized the estimated expenses related to the spin-off transaction and
additional compensation costs and other regulatory and legal provisions directly
associated with discontinuing the insurance services business segment as
follows:



Millions of dollars Income (loss)
before Net income
income taxes (loss)
------------- -------------

Additional claim loss reserves for environmental
and asbestos exposure and other exposures $ (117.0) $ (76.4)
Realization of deferred income tax valuation allowance - 25.9
Provisions for legal matters (8.0) (5.2)
Expenses related to the spin-off transaction (7.6) (6.7)
Other insurance services expenses (7.4) (4.8)
------------- -------------
Total charges $ (140.0) $ (67.2)
============= =============


The review of the insurance policies and reinsurance agreements was based
upon a recent actuarial study and HIGI management's best estimates using facts
and trends currently known, taking into consideration the current legislative
and legal environment. Developed case law and adequate claim history do not
exist for such claims. Estimates of the liability are reviewed and updated

28

continually. Due to the significant uncertainties related to these types of
claims, past claim experience may not be representative of future claim
experience.
The Company also realized a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets
primarily related to HIGI's insurance claim loss reserves. The Company had
provided a valuation allowance for all temporary differences related to HIGI
based upon its intent announced in 1992 that it was pursuing the sale of HIGI. A
taxable transaction would have made it more likely than not that the related
benefit or future deductibility would not be realized. The spin-off transaction
was tax-free and allows HIGI to retain its tax basis and the value of its
deferred tax asset.

To the Board of Directors
European Marine Contractors Limited

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of European Marine
Contractors Limited as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related
consolidated statements of income, total recognised gains and losses and
cashflows for the each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audit.



We conducted our audits in accordance with United Kingdom auditing standards
which do not differ in any significant respect from United States generally
accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurances about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by the management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.



In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
European Marine Contractors Limited at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 31 DECEMBER 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting Convention

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention
as modified to include the revaluation of certain fixed assets and in
accordance with applicable United Kingdom accounting standards.

Basis of Consolidation

The group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of
European Marine Contractors Limited and EMC Nederland BV drawn up to 31
December each year.

Joint Ventures

The company's share of the results of unincorporated joint ventures is
proportionally consolidated in the group profit and loss account and
balance sheet.

Goodwill

Purchased goodwill is amortised through the profit and loss account over
the directors' original estimate of its useful life.

Depreciation

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less the
expected residual value of each fixed asset over its expected useful life
as follows:

Marine floating equipment - at 25% per annum on a reducing balance basis
Buildings and leasehold
improvements - over 3-15 years on a straight line basis
Plant & Machinery:-
Other marine equipment - over 2-5 years on a straight line basis
Office equipment - over 4-5 years on a straight line basis

Depreciation on assets under construction is provided when assets are
partially brought into use during the year, at the appropriate rate above.

Equipment Maintenance

The marine floating equipment is dry-docked for major repairs in accordance
with statutory requirements. Other maintenance works are carried out on a
yearly basis. Provisions towards meeting both these costs are being made
each year based on an estimate of costs to be incurred and the future
utilisation programmes.

Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Foreign Currency

The financial statements of consolidated undertakings are translated at the
rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date.

The exchange adjustments arising on re-translating the opening net assets
are taken directly to reserves.

38

EUROPEAN MARINE CONTRACTORS LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 31 DECEMBER 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Operating Leases

Rentals paid in respect of operating leases are charged to the profit and
loss account on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

Pensions

Pension scheme contributions are made in accordance with actuarial advice
and are charged to the profit and loss account so as to spread the pension
cost over the anticipated period of service of scheme members.

Government Grants

Government Grants on capital expenditure are credited to a deferral account
and are released to revenue over the expected useful life of the relevant
asset by equal annual amounts.

Long Term Contracts

Profit on long term contracts is taken as the work is carried out if the
final outcome can be assessed with reasonable certainty. The profit
included is calculated on a basis to reflect the proportion of the work
carried out at the year end, by recording turnover and related costs as
contract activity progresses. Turnover is calculated on that proportion of
total contract value which costs incurred to date bear to total expected
costs for that contract. Revenues derived from variations on contracts are
recognised only when they have been accepted by the customer. Full
provision is made for losses on all contracts in the year in which they are
first foreseen.

Deferred Taxation

Deferred taxation is provided under the liability method on all timing
differences which are expected to reverse in the future without being
replaced, calculated at the rate at which it is estimated that tax will be
payable. Deferred tax assets are recognised only where recovery is
reasonably certain.

2 TURNOVER

Turnover comprises that part of each contract value represented by work
completed at the balance sheet date. Turnover excludes applicable VAT.
